A physical education teacher has been suspended from Kolkata's Scottish Church College after a second-year student accused him of sexually harassing her by sending explicit text messages.
The incident reportedly sparked protests by the students on campus on Thursday. Some students alleged that this is not the first time the teacher has harassed a student. The survivor had also reportedly informed the college administration about the harassment earlier, but no action was allegedly taken, leading to the protests. After the agitation by the students and a written complaint against the teacher by the survivor, the college authorities suspended the accused immediately on Thursday.
"With regard to a complaint received from a student of the college against a faculty member, the authority suspended the concerned teacher from service in the college with immediate effect till the governing body takes further decision," said college principal Madhumanjari Mandal in a statement.
